Purpose
Job 42:1-2
42 Then Job answered the Lord:
2 “I know that You can do all things;
no purpose of Yours can be thwarted;
Flowers blooming in their season ... they understand signs of the times
For a day or two bringing glory to dress up God’s well chosen shrine
There are no walls here to contain and hide the beauty that is Thine
Unrestricted and free to be now what their Creator had in mind
Limitations set by mind and flesh have little influence in the span of time
A flower really knows it best that only one can be its appointed rhyme
It seems that few things ever rest having no clue about the sublime
Except the flowers pass the test to bring love and beauty without paradigm
No restrictions and the un-afflicted reaching for the sky
Where the Hand reaches down to stroke also gently
Never asking or wondering for the reason why
Just accepting its chosen role supplied permanently
To live in full obedience never to question
To let the Lord be what He desires in us
To hunger to be delivered from stony heart’s bastion
And to be come more like Christ ... is that too much?
